Using Weather Satellites to Detect and Manage Wildfires

From time to time, we've mentioned the extremely useful fire detection capabilities of NOAA's weather satellites. This is an image of wildfire in the West last year. 
But that is not all satellites can do. 

The Daily Oklahoman has an article showing how a European satellite shows, in high resolution, the ground scarring from a fire. Be sure and try the "sliders" on the photos.
